Grosvenor Charcoal

Grosvenor Fabric

Grosvenor Charcoal pairs a pale, softly textured ground with layered charcoal leaf shapes for a natural look that feels crisp rather than heavy. The large botanical repeat gives the design movement and visual depth.

About this fabric

This Grosvenor colourway from Fryett's Fabrics is woven in 79% Recycled Polyester and 21% Polyester, with a 140cm width and a 23.5cm vertical by 24cm horizontal pattern repeat. The cloth reads as a light neutral base with cool charcoal foliage, including sketchy veining and stippled leaf shading that gives the design a drawn, almost printed-on effect. In the image, the darker leaves sit clearly against the pale background, so the pattern feels defined without becoming stark. With no performance features noted and care code NQT1<, it presents as a decorative fabric suited to everyday interior use.

How to use it

The cool charcoal and soft ivory tones work well with oak, painted timber and black metal details, especially in rooms that need pattern without added colour. Use it on cushions, accent chairs or curtains to bring a crisp, tailored botanical note to a neutral scheme.

Use for tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains where the charcoal leafwork can stand out against a pale ground.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Grosvenor Charcoal without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
